Embroidery bird

This year Santa brought me my first embroidery kit! This is a Nancy Nicholson kit that, once finished, can be framed or turned into a cushion, or whatever you like.


The kit come with a printed cloth with markings showing you where to sew. You also get, your needle, threads and a guide to the different embroidery stitches. I found i had to google some of the stitches to get a clearer idea of how to do them. Here's my progress so far...








The kit came with a light grey for the back ground but i've decided to keep it bright and go with green instead.



Still undecided what to do with it when it's finished, leaning towards framing it to protect it from cats....
